I'm feeling like we're running out of time to get this committed.
Committing large patches late in the release cycle is a recipe for a
buggy beta, possibly a long beta, and a buggy release, and we're now
down to 8 days before the start of the final CommitFest, after which
our schedule indicates that we expect to put out an alpha and a beta
relatively quickly.  If this isn't ready to go, maybe we need to
postpone it to 8.6.  We've already had a bunch of bug reports (some of
which have been fixed) as a result of HS, and I don't see any reason
to believe that this isn't going to have the same problem.

Personally, I would rather have a release without SR in June or July
than a release with SR in August or September.  We already have too
many good features in the tree to hold up the whole process for
patches that aren't ready yet - though like everyone else, I think
this is a killer feature.

Thoughts?
